Winners of Swedish Invitational 2011

After a solid round of golf at 73 strokes (+1) the Danish international Stefan Mörkholt won the third edition of the Swedish Invitational. A week consisting of fantastic golf and sportsmanship.

After the opening round yesterday it was clear that Stefan Mörkholt and Johan Kammerstad would fight for the victory. They were both 5 strokes ahead of the nearest competitors.

Stefan Mörkholt made a nice birdie on the last hole and won the Swedish Invitational 2 strokes ahead of Johan Kammerstad. The third player to watch out for was Manuel De Los Santos he was 2 strokes behind Stefan Mörkholt and Johan Kammerstad after 9 holes.

When Manuel De Los made a tripplebogey on the 10^th hole he lost his game completely. At the 12^th hole Stefan Mörkholt was in charge again after a new birdie, and then he made another birdie two holes later and suddenly he was leading by 2 stokes ahead of Johan Kammerstad, and he manage keep the lead all the way.

Caroline Larsson from Karlstad opened the round very well and was at +3 after 9 holes, she lost little bit of the fighting spirit during the last 9 holes even though she had a better score today compared to yesterday.

It has been a long week for many of the players competing 6 days in a row. Mörholt said after the Team World Championship where he won the silver that he was not mentally ready for playing the Swedish Invitational, but when he saw the main competitor Johan Kammerstad the fighting spirit returned. When he received the gold medal Johan Kammerstad said that this was the first time you beat me!

It has been a great week at Bokskogen Golf Club where its 70 voulonteers have handling everything very well! Many of the players were relieved when the tournament was over. Thierry Godineau explained “Now I want to go home to France to warmth and sunshine!

Hopefully the 4^th edition of the Swedish Invitation will take place at Bokskogen in 2 years, and we hope all the players will return together with some sunshine!
